How deep (thick) was the ice in the glacier that formed the lateral moraines at the bottom of Bloody Canyon? You may assume that the ice reached the top of the lateral moraines. Estimate the height of the lateral moraine just south of the word “Lake” in “Walker Lake.”
Large lateral moraines can be see at the mouth of Bloody Canyon (Walker Lake and Walker Creek are between these moraines; 37°52'28"N, 119°09'53"W). The glacier that left these moraines flowed down Bloody Canyon from near Mono Pass. Sawmill Canyon (just south of Bloody Canyon) consists of two large lateral moraines—these moraines were left by a glacier that at one time also flowed down Bloody Canyon.
